Insignificance

Most of the time I feel quite insignificant. We all love to feel validated, I suppose, but lately I haven't even taken the time to blog because I have just been feeling so small in a competitive world of such fabulous artists! Every time I am asked to contribute to an art format, I think to myself, "ME" they're asking "ME?" Why would they ask ME? Well, we need to just ask ourselves...."Why NOT me?" We all have something wonderful to offer. Especially in the ART WORLD! Its all about different perspectives. Different ideas that will hopefully cause an emotion in someone. Something that is beautiful, or maybe not so beautiful, but will make a person stop and think!
CREATE SOME ART TODAY!!!!! MAKE THE WORLD STOP, if only for a minute or two...and THINK!

The very fact you were asked to contribute shows that your unique view of the world is truly appreciated. "Why Not" indeed! Who Better? There is nothing INSIGNIFICANT About someone who can find a small person standing by a tree in a paperclip!

I am so shocked to read that you feel insignificant! Not you! Your work is amazing! I even tried your technique from the article in Somerset Workshop, you openeda door for me.

Now I feel insignificant I can't sell anything it seems. Maybe it is the economy maybe not. Now that is depressing! But I keep plugging away. I would be shocked if I was "discovered" but I still hope to be. No you are not insignificant, you are wonderful!

so true...we must remind ourselves that we have something to give because each time we share something of ourselves we touch someone, teach someone, inspire someone or encourage someone and we always receive more than we give.

Keep creating!

I like this post, Julie. I really really like it. Thank you for sharing your insights into that INSIGNIFICANT feeling we all SUFFER from/with from time to time. If we can just remember to put LIFE and our ART into perspective (pun - intended?!) then we can all just get on with making our ART for the sake of the MAKING of the art. We don't always have to consider the end "result" - ie, "will someone like it enough to buy it or publish it?" ... NO, we have to MAKE ART for the MAKING of it. :-)
